Beautiful photos, I had to look up canicular (dog days of summer?) not a word I’d heard before. I like your “feathered” that would be a tough exposure to get properly and I think you have nailed it.
Cheers!

Great prompt Paula. You had me thinking with your first photo. I could not work out how it pertained to little dogs or Sirius star. I looked closely for the hidden star or dog and couldn’t find one. Eventually I remembered about dog days. It is not something we refer to here so was not that common but I loved the puzzle. Mine: https://irenewaters19.com/2018/07/06/pick-a-word-july-2018-yr-3-thursdays-special/
I get it now, stagnation, or inactivity.

Kimmy I found this one hard too. From what I can work out Canicular relates to Sirius, alpha canis majoris, or the dog star. Canicular can therefore relate to this star but it also is used for dog days which are a time associated with Sirius’s rising in Summer where days were long, hot and sultry, drought was common, people languid. Too hot to do anything, a period of inactivity. So you could post anything to do with inactivity, heat, or little dogs – I think.

You’ve given us a splendid scenic view Paula, and I like your fountain. The long exposure makes it quiet and elegant in my head, so just a gentle splash.
And I have an offering at last – scenic, marine and feathered, and maybe a tiny splash: https://travelwithintent.com/2018/07/17/arbroath-horizon-sea-level/
